My Masterpiece Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGDGD FDFDDDDD| It's slim and trim and bound in blue | A |
| Its leaves are crisp and edged with gold | B |
| Its words are simple stalwart too | A |
| Its thoughts are tender wise and bold | B |
| Its pages scintillate with wit | C |
| Its pathos clutches at my throat | D |
| Oh how I love each line of it | C |
| That Little Book I Never Wrote | D |
| - | |
| In dreams I see it praised and prized | E |
| By all from plowman unto peer | F |
| It's pencil marked and memorized | E |
| It's loaned and not returned I fear | F |
| It's worn and torn and travel tossed | G |
| And even dusky natives quote | D |
| That classic that the world has lost | G |
| The Little Book I Never Wrote | D |
| - | |
| Poor ghost For homes you've failed to cheer | F |
| For grieving hearts uncomforted | D |
| Don't haunt me now Alas I fear | F |
| The fire of Inspiration's dead | D |
| A humdrum way I go to night | D |
| From all I hoped and dreamed remote | D |
| Too late a better man must write | D |
| That Little Book I Never Wrote | D |
